“Moe Joe's!!!!! WOW!!! When I asked my mom on a breakfast date without a skip of a beat she said "yes, let's go to Moe Joe's". I was instantly happy cause this was a place that I've never been to. As we pulled up to this lowkey breakfast spot ( or so I thought it was lowkey) I instantly saw how popular it was. Granted we went on Sunday at about 10am. We were quoted a 20 minute wait. Not even 15 minutes went by before they sat us. Once seated the waitress ( wished I would have grabbed her name) came over and made sure our drink ordered was put in. When I tell you that my coffee wasn't even half empty when she would come around and was ready to refill my mug. She then took our food order that did take a while to come out, but I don't blame them as the restaurant was packed! I had the California hash bowl and it was amazing. Each bite was flavorful. I also had an order of their French toast and that was also a great hit. 10/10 babyyyyyy!!! Restaurant was super clean as soon as a family got up the table was cleaned and ready for the next family. The bathroom was also clean that within itself is a huge win to me. Moe Joe's I'll be back soon!”
“Cheyenne was our server, and she was absolutely amazing. She took such good care of my grandparents, who were hard to hear, and had a few questions. She was so friendly and on patient. The food was absolutely amazing as well, 10/10. So much flavor and creativity in the menu! This is also the first time my wife has liked edamame !!I'm gluten free and there were so many options for me! Come eat here!Dietary restrictions: Plenty of great Gluten free options.Plenty of vegetarian options. All the platters can be made vegetarian.”
“Always great service. Always great food. Always great atmosphere. I genuinely feel like I’m being taken care of every time I eat here. Everyone is SO NICE! It’s also very nice to see happy employees. That speaks volumes about the owner/s. So keep up the good work! Keep smiling!…and I’ll see you folks next time for some more yumminess!Photos coming next time!!!Vegetarian options: Waffles! French toast! Pancakes! Hot chocolate with whipped cream on top! Coffee! Tea! …WATER!!!!Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: I don’t remember if they have a kids menu, but my kids love eating here”
“Poke nachos were fantastic. Get the strawberry mule over the Hawaiian mule. I wish I would have gotten something other than the fish and chips for dinner. Next time I will go for the vampire tacos.”
“I go here often, the service is usually very good. The food is consistent with the exception of my favorite, the tomato soup. No matter what it always gets served cold and I have to send it back to be heated up. The server always tells me idk why it's cold it come out of a hot pot. Idk why either but somehow it's always cold even if I ask for it to be extra hot. Still delicious once it's been warmed up. Salads are good and pizza is good. Love the crust.”

“Just tried this place and it was SO fantastic! First of all, Sammy was our waitress and she was sweet as can be. She gets 5 stars alone. The guy up front, whose name I didn’t get, was also great! He suggested the sweet potato fries and the smokehouse burger so that’s what we had! I had mine lettuce wrapped and everything was an A+! The place is super cool inside and there’s plenty of parking around the Village. Can’t wait to be back!”
“Love Zullee!! I'm pretty much a regular at this point and order online and pickup often and the staff is always lovely and kind. They even wrote on my bag with a thank you which I loved! The food is always consistent and amazing ?? If I had to recommend anywhere to eat I always suggest coming here. Food and customer service is outstanding!”

“This place is a must try. The food is phenomenal and has such aromatic flavors. If you are a first timer for Indian food try Chicken Makahni (Butter Chicken) with garlic Naan. You can't go wrong. Servers are super friendly and food comes fast. Great place! Ask for Rohit, he is one of the friendly staff to serve you.”
“Our favorite ice cream shop in the Treasure Valley! The flavors are delicious, with a choice for everyone. We especially appreciate the dairy-free options with dairy allergies in the family.”
“We had such a lovely evening. The only thing we didn't like was when it was over! We can't wait to go back! The staff makes you feel invited and comfortable! The food was delicious. We were there on a Thursday with Andrew Chapelle, that was a treat too!”

“I have been meaning to try this place for a while, and I am so happy that I finally did this morning! It is a quiet little shop with very kind and helpful employees. The coffee is very smooth and rich; much better than big brand stores. I had the Gem State German Chocolate mocha and it was SO good! I will definitely be back.”
“Seriously such a great place to eat food is delicious! Owners are amazing so kind and definitely a favorite spot! Muy Bueno Gracias tacos la Cruz! Support local taco trucks they're honestly so much better then actual restaurants.Parking: It's a good spot where they're parked!”

“Best place around for ice cream. Been to others in the area and they don’t compare. Always tastes homemade and they have an excellent selection of flavors. It’s our go to spot when we are feeling like a sweet treat! Thanks Reed’s!”
“First timer. Definitely a pleasant and comfortable experience. I ordered the 4" Italian hot with everything. The lady with the beautiful hair was so friendly. I took my order to go. Fast and efficient. Delicious sourdough bread. Run don't walk. They're open for lunch.”
“As a busy Nutrition Coach, this is an awesome place for making meal prep easier during any hectic week. The food is great and there are lots of options. They are great people too!”
“DELICIOUS CRISPY CHICKEN!! Generous portions with great sauce options & endless pickles ? + Sage was so nice & helpful! We really appreciated his suggestions & help to make our first time at Dave’s a great experience! Will be returning if not for the very tasty food, definitely for the excellent customer service! :)Vegetarian options: Hot not chicken (cauli) bites were fantastic! Thank you for the recommendation Sage!!Kid-friendliness: Mac & cheese was super cheesy! If your kids can take a little spice, they’ll love it!!”
“Great little place. I had the fajitas platter with steak and shrimp. The staff were quick and responsive, even though they were busy and short staffed. I would eat there again for sure!I also love that they are not a big Corp chain or franchise. I always try and support local.”
“Poke nachos were fantastic. Get the strawberry mule over the Hawaiian mule. I wish I would have gotten something other than the fish and chips for dinner. Next time I will go for the vampire tacos.”
“March 7, first time at Land & Ocean. When we walked in, we all gasped at the calm serene setting. The restaurant was very clean. The glasses sparkled. The lighting and music was perfect just like the food and drinks.Eric was our server and he was attentive, knowledgeable about the drinks & food. We started our with the blue cheese dip and chips that are made in house. Yummo! We enjoyed the tenderloin, the dip, tempera shrimp and chocolate Cheesecake. Can't wait to go again!!!!!!”
“This place is such an unexpected gem!!! Found it by accident and had the poke bomb sushi burrito. Absolutely delicious- hands down some of my favorite food in Boise!!”
“It was delicious. Also lots of unique options on the menu which is pretty rare for a BBQ place. Our server Archie was fan-freaking-tastic. He made great suggestions and provided top notch service without coming across as one of those annoyingly over friendly servers.... You know the ones I'm talking ”
“An amazing place with a great atmosphere! I highly recommend the lemon basil cider. A fantastic flavor, with a good chipper buzz.The staff is wonderful, and the drinks are even better!”
“Awesome Cajun style boil! I love to eat here when I need a seafood overdose. Perfect for a casual date night. The clams, crab, prawns and mussels are to die for! However I wish the corn on the cob wasn't frozen, it tends to be mushy. But who cares? The seafood is perfection!”

“Best Texas Roadhouse my husband and I have ever been to! It was super busy on a Thursday afternoon at 4 pm, but we got a table right away! Service was amazing, the young waiter consistently checked in on us, and had a friendly attitude. Food was very fresh and delicious. Will be back soon!”
“I worked at this restaurant as a line cook for about two months. This review was not incentivized, and I wrote it about a month after I left.Short review: il Sugo's food is fantastic, and the cooks all have individual authority to decide not to serve a dish if it looks subpar. Quality over convenience was always the motto- if I didn't want to eat it, it didn't leave the kitchen. I earnestly recommend everything on the menu, but my favorite dish was the Northender Veggie with chicken.Long review: I only left this place because the restaurant industry was incompatible with volunteer work that I wanted to do which was in the evenings during the typical dinner service. I am pleased to report that I left this place on good terms, and the owner and my fellow staff handled my departure with professionalism.The food is amazing. Working in a real kitchen after coming from a fast-food background was such a relief- I was finally eating real food and learning valuable cooking skills that I make heavy use of today in my home life and when cooking for my loved ones. Working for il Sugo carried with it the typical stressors of the service industry; it was not a "bad day-free" job, but the service industry is stressful. I had many more days where I felt awful before going to work, and better after having worked a heavy service.I told the owner, Grant, when I interviewed for the position: "I want to make beautiful food," and he fulfilled that desire. Nothing short of art left the kitchen every day, and the few times that subpar food WAS served, it was because I decided to give a pass to a questionable-looking dish because of how deeply the emphasis on speed had been ingrained in me by the fast food industry. When I got comfortable with going the extra mile like my fellow cooks did, real magic happened.All (or, at least, most?) of the recipes on il Sugo's menu are Grant's family recipes, and new items added to the menu are usually his personal projects. Several times throughout my employment, he would create or modify recipes for desserts, appetizers, or house specials, and he'd almost always share his creations with the staff and take their feedback.I do recommend working for il Sugo Italian Kitchen as well as eating there. I long for when my financial situation improves so I can eat there again and visit my friends.”
“We ordered the pad thai, which, while good, was not pad thai. The sauce was more of an oil based, red sauce. A pork and a chicken bahn mi and those were very good. I'd come back for the bahn mi for sure.”
“Very friendly and accommodating. Made us a drink we haven't had in 50 years, the old fashion was a little weak but still good. Our whole family likes 127, highly recommend. We'll be back, that sounds familiar.”
“We’ve been meaning to come here and now we’re sad we waited so long! It was delicious and we had great service. We shared the Perfect Storm Boil with Cajun sauce and selected Spicy, added corn and sausage. We didn’t need the extra corn so took that home along with plenty of shrimp and sausage for a leftover lunch. We didn’t think it was too spicy and the original Cajun sauce was outstanding! The snow crab wasn’t the sweetest crab we’ve ever had but we look forward to trying a few of the other options in their seafood boils. We will be back!”
“Best carne asada in the valley! Charred to perfection every time, moist and addictive. The speedy platter is so wonderful but beware, it's a lot of food! I love the bacon wrapped prawns and homemade salsa. The service is always great and friendly. You must eat here!!”
“Every time we are in the area we visit this little gem. The food and service is just amazing! We love coming here for the sweet home town feel and you really can't go wrong with choices on the menu! If you have a sweet tooth - don't pass up the huge cinnamon rolls! Hope to be back soon!”
“Great food and lovely people. My boyfriend and I went for our anniversary, I don't remember what he got but he was happy and full, I got the Sushi for two, all for me, and it was amazing, i loved the boat it was served on. I asked for Salmon Roe but instead got Salmon Rolls... haha, so a small miscommunication, I was a little sad but I didn't want to correct it, I was just happy for sushi. Ill just be sure to get my Salmon Roe next time. It all tasted amazing and so was the sake, thank you so much!”
“My wife and I dined here March 2nd. Tyler the waiter was amazing! The food was in between. Some Parts were good some weren't. The calamari was tender and tasted great. I ordered the famous Jakers ribeye tip cut. I was expecting a larger amount of meat. It was probably 6oz instead of 8-10 like other cuts were, for the price. My wife ordered the Jakers chicken and the crab tasted like it was out of a freezer and the noodles were a bit bland, but the chicken was soooo good. So like I said, toss up. Hahaha”
“We always love to come to Izumi! It's fun, they have great drinks and food! Service is always great and the chefs are always fun to watch and does a great job! We love to sit at the bar before our table is set up for Hibachi.”
“Yooooooo. This place is not playing around. First of all, it’s just a cool setting in general. Everyone was really kind and the food!!!! THE FOOD. I had the brisket elote burger and the husband had the smokehouse Benedict. As we were leaving he said, “We’re coming back here… a lot.” He’s right!”
“We ordered breakfast items at dinner time. I picked my order up and took it home. The breakfast items were average (3-star). We also ordered pie, which was excellent (5-star). Our food was done on time and it was simple and quick to pick up.”
“First time here today during lunch and the gentleman helping me was very kind! He let me take my time to look over the menu and was there to answer any questions I had. Food came out of quick and was delicious, the tables and chairs are also very well kept and clean. I will definitely be coming back here again, thank you guys for this experience !”

The Griddle
“I visited twice in two days and the food is great when it’s fresh, but inconsistent. Service was lack luster both times and I wouldn’t say there is “atmosphere”. By the time we left Saturday morning there was a wait for tables so plan to be early or patient.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“I was pleasantly surprised by our food. We all were happy with our choices. My breakfast chicken bowl was tasty and a good size. Pancakes were hot and fresh. My husband was happy with his meat omelette. I wouldn't mind coming back. The only setback was our server was new and somehow our order got lost and they had to come and take it again so we had to wait a lot longer for our food and they were out of egg whites.”
“Honestly, this is a place for fresh, simple ingredients. They make amazing salsa and the refried beans/ rice combo and topped with cheese is still something my children talk about. They love the simple, easy, and super fast food! Quesadilla, beans and rice? Yes please- a dream for a picky child. If you need a quick meal and do not fancy McDs- this is the spot! My go to is the veggie- cause it's simple, fresh and fast. Thank you Los Betos for being so good to our family!”
“I do not usually write reviews, but I have to give a shout out to the amazing young man working the window. He was such a nice guy, personable, efficient, and got my order correct, which is rare anywhere these days! He was more than happy to add on 2 extra cakes when I got up to the window. I'm not sure what his name is, but he deserves a raise or promotion for a job well done!!”
“Love this location, the employees are very nice and orders come out right. Thanks for being personable and making me smile, I’m having a bad day and I really needed that, thank you. Also love the WcDonalds stuff!”
“I came here with my family, It was nice and I was able to get my points. The app is easy to use and you can use the points whenever. I got the buttermilk chicken sandwich, It was pretty good and the bread was very buttery. The employee's were nice and didn't make use feel rushed. We have been here before and they haven't failed. I enjoy their fries and tacos, especially the price for 2. The tacos are simple but do fill you up. I tried the tiny tacos but they aren't the same. I wouldn't recommend the tiny tacos however their cheap chicken sandwich is nice and fills you up pretty good. The area is also clean for being in a gas station, I do like how they have a sit down area. I would also recommend the sourdough jack I believe it has gotten smaller but it's a good burger if you aren't a huge fan of big burgers.”
“After visiting Rice, which I believe belongs to the same network, I was looking forward to trying Sa Wa Dee. But honestly, it's not worth it. The food was pretty plain, and my lunch sized plate left me hungry.”
“Always amazing food and service! The smoked prime rib is our favorite. Great relaxing atmosphere, drink refills when your glass is still half full. Our favorite restaurant!”

“Edit: I don't really go out of my way to make reviews. They're worth it.These ladies working here are always super prompt with orders and friendly, makin sure to greet you even if they're aboutta clock out, lettin you know you're seen even if helping someone else gonna get ya. (Got a good chill vibe)Some of these girls are carrying registered scales for hands. They'll hit that weight dead nuts in one go, it's legit!Sandwiches are awesome, they're quick to make em, even with amendments to the sammich. The taters are always great, got a nice crunch from their batter they put em in. They don't taste starchy or have that dirty oil taste sorta like what you'll get at other places and the extra effort is super appreciated.”

Tea! …WATER!!!!Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: I don’t remember if they have a kids menu, but my kids love eating here”
“After eating at Von's I won't eat chicken anywhere else. As a military veteran and married to a Korean wife, I first encountered this type of fried chicken while in Seoul. The best chicken I've ever eaten and that's saying alot because I haul from south Texas and have eaten fried chicken my whole life. This place is a total MUST. If you like spicy fried chicken (my favorite) get the Yamgyeung style in 3 different spice levels. They also have crispy fried with a teriyaki sauce that is yummy and garlic fried chicken, which is a favorite. They also make the best Bibimpop (get it in a stone hot pot) and Teokkboki (rice cake in pepper sauce) that I've ever eaten here stateside. There are alot of other korean dishes they offer and in the next 2 months or so, they will also offer Korean style Corndogs with cheese curds and Kimbop (a Korean styled sushi roll). Stop by and try it out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.”

“I legitimately cannot recommend this place enough. Everything is fantastic and their menu is incredible. My wife loves the Sushi Nachos and I love the large bowl with tuna, salmon, and shrimp.The people are nice and it’s been great making friends with our repeated visits.Give it a try if you love sushi or poke!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”
“First time at Pueblo Lindo. The staff was so inviting, I felt like I was at home! The food was very good, the atmosphere was great, and very clean. We are always looking for good Mexican food. Most of the time we take home a doggie bag, but the food was so good, we just kept eating until there was nothing left on our plates! Thank you for a great dining experience! We will be back soon!Parking: Parking right in front”
“We started off with crab Rangoon. They were pretty good could use a little more soy sauce, but they were pretty full puffs. My son ordered the Generals Chicken and loved it. I got the creamy chicken ramen extra spicy. I eat very spicy food and thought the heat was great! I didn’t give it a 5 star because I have had better in Vegas where I crave the broth. This was good for being in Idaho. The place was clean. The service was great! We were sat immediately, didn’t wait too long for our food/drinks, and she was attentive. She was the only one serving and was rocking it including answering phones and hosting. Even my son said she deserves a good tip! We will definitely we back.”
“It was delicious. Also lots of unique options on the menu which is pretty rare for a BBQ place. Our server Archie was fan-freaking-tastic. He made great suggestions and provided top notch service without coming across as one of those annoyingly over friendly servers.... You know the ones I'm talking ”
“Service is friendly and helpful, coffee is strong and smooth, and the food is incredible! Even the simple breakfast sandwich was perfectly seasoned and fresh, absolutely perfectly put together. We also had the guava Danish... made in house with fresh guava and it's about the best Danish we've ever tried.”
“Best bagels in the treasure valley. The flavors they offer are delicious. Loved the Churro and Hot Honey. Cream cheese flavors are the bomb. Loved that they're local and not a chain.”
“Best wood-fired pizza in the Boise valley! The crust is out of this world and my husband swears their BBQ Chicken pizza is the best he’s ever had. Super friendly staff too. Highly recommend!”
“We love Coned! Yummy and original pizza. Fast, delicious, lots of options. Kid friendly atmosphere, love their style. ❤️Kid-friendliness: Clean and easily accessible bathroom, a game and kid coloring cart. Easy parking!”
“The SOUPS are DELICIOUS!!! There sandwiches leave a little bit to be desired. I love Gouda cheese, but I’d prefer to eat it on my bread rather than crispy fried, by itself. It’s March, you can take down the Christmas decorations any time, lol. ?✨ HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR SOUPS!”
“First time here today during lunch and the gentleman helping me was very kind! He let me take my time to look over the menu and was there to answer any questions I had. Food came out of quick and was delicious, the tables and chairs are also very well kept and clean. I will definitely be coming back here again, thank you guys for this experience !”
“Cute little shop with a drive thru. Pleasant, no nonsense service, and a good muffin. Where they really stood out from the crowd was the coffee. Had a latte, the espresso was incredibly smooth(what I'd usually only find at a coffee roasters), and the milk was incredible! I had an alternative milk that can be harder to steam, and the barista did a beautiful job... smooth, perfect temp, perfect foam. Definitely on the list to visit again.”
“First time here and it was awesome. Great selection of food, beer and the service was exceptional. Seems to be a popular place so get there early. Can't wait to go back!”
“We ordered the pad thai, which, while good, was not pad thai. The sauce was more of an oil based, red sauce. A pork and a chicken bahn mi and those were very good. I'd come back for the bahn mi for sure.”
“Nichole is a VERY good server. Very personable kind caring and right on top of things when you need refills. Ask for Nicole when you come in on Wednesday nights and Saturday nights. We come here often. Sh is the best server we have had here. Thanks NicholeKid-friendliness: She treated our granddaughter with kindness and didn't talk down to her.”

“Phenomenal pizza. The Detroit-style is dynamite. Everything we tried was fantastic. The service was good too. Love seeing passionate pizza available. Now we need a legit Chicago deep-dish restaurant in the area.”
“The burger and fries I had were delicious but the customer service was even more amazing. The gentleman that helped us out was very helpful and even gave us free custard samples.”
“Not only is the food and drinks amazing, but biggyby help support teachers as well. I just love the kindness and giving back. Biggyby has donated to our school for special events like teachers back to school breakfast and Christmas breakfast. Thank you again for the support you have given. Love this place!Also I want to add that you should follow their Instagram and Facebook. Lots of giveaway and deals always happening.Dietary restrictions: They provide different milk and non dairy optionsKid-friendliness: Drinks for kids!”
“Seriously, the human bean has the BEST hot cocoa I’ve ever had. They’ve got my business for life. The other hot cocoas (especially ⭐️?) are not even close to how awesome their hot cocoa is.”
“I am a regular at this stand. The staff is so good, and the coffee is always consistently good. They know me and my dogs and have the treats ready for us everytime:)”
“Got an oat milk latte with almond syrup and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Absolutely delicious and the best coffee I’ve had in the Treasure Valley.Dietary restrictions: Ordered oat milk because of a dairy allergy and had no issues.”
“This company NEEDS more menus for 1st time visitors. If you have humans posted up like Dutch Bros to take the order BEFORE the menu...these HUMANS should have menu KNOWLEDGE.My 1st experience will prohibit me from hitting the drive thru UNTIL I know what I like and don't like.Very disappointed. After all the hype I was overcharged and got fries that were cooked in oil that was not at OPTIMUM temp for frying.”
“Pretty solid fast food Greek spot. I had the Original combo. Priced well and filling! Atmosphere is classic fast food, but very clean. The staff was very kind and went above and beyond what you would expect from a fast food restaurant. Overall, if you’re looking for a quick, tasty, and clean Greek spot, this place is for you!”
“Good coffee and nice people, usually never have issues here but please please please staff confirm the drink order back to the customer before making the drink, I ordered with oatmilk and got real milk, dairy has instant ramifications and is a one way ticket to a crumby morning ?? got 5 sips in and had to dump the rest.”
“We didn't finish our burgers and fries since the food was so delicious and satisfying. Although we knew the pricing before we went, the food seemed a tad pricey. You won't be sorry if you have a little extra cash to spend. But I would suggest giving the place a makeover inside.”
“I absolutely love this place! They have such good custard, I recommend the chocolate brownie delight, and getting the Freddy’s original double with only pickle add fry sauce, with cheese curds is my personal recommendation! Always such amazing staff and always ontop of cleaning the place!”
“I can't speak to the "Atmosphere" on this visit as I never went inside. I had just come from the chiropractor who told me getting in & out of the car was bad for my problems so I called from the car right in front of the restaurant & a very nice young man named, Jake, took my order & I told him I would call in a few minutes cuz to see if it was ready & explained my back situation.....in less than 10 minutes a lovely young lady named Lilly, came to my car carrying my pizza and I gave her my credit card for her to run and return to me......SUPER HELPFUL & so pleasant in "going the extra mile" We highly recommend this particular Papa Murphy's location!! And thank you to Jake & Lilly for the EXCELLENT service!! (& if I have misspelled Lilly's name, my apologies to her!! :) <3 Customer: Alexis Smith-TwifordMeridian, Idaho”
“Always an amazing experience take Out or dine it. They have amazing sandwiches hot or cold. I love the selection of chips they have miss Vicki's Chips love the salt and vinegar ones. They have bottle drinks and a machine.”
“Wow!!! I just came here for the first time today and the costumer service I received was amazing! The people working were both so friendly :). Unfortunately I didn’t catch either the guy or the girls names but they are awesome!!! got a matcha chiller and it was so good. I will definitely be coming back here. Thank you!”
“By the way, the wait is minimal, alotta new people don't wanna wait and I don't either but here's the deal we all gotta wait for the fella before us us. We shoulda learned that in school. Like iv said minimal wait and worth.”
“Great neighborhood establishment! Consistent good quality food, great atmosphere and the service from the Sarah "the world's most okayest bartender", is incredible!”
“The sushi and sushimi is consistently fresh and beautifully presented. Service is attentive and friendly. Tables and booths could use a good scrub. Also, the sugar packets were soaked and unusable. The staff may want to add a step to check the condiment area during clean-up. I have been to both the Boise and Meridian locations and enjoy both!”
“A luau in the deepest snow we've had since 2017?? Thankfully, it was held inside and we had Mimi Gerosin, Catering Manager, on our side. I contacted Mimi at the height of Goodwood's catering season in December to request a reservation for our January Christmas party. A luau sounded great in September!Mimi guided us through the whole process and with her many years of experience, made it seamless and easy. Incredibly, our food was delivered right on time despite the snowstorm and everything was perfect.Important tip: Please listen to Mimi's recommendations for food amounts! We ordered waaaay too much despite her gentle hints to the contrary. She's definitely the expert here.”

“St Patrick's was my first time visiting this place. The lucky charms drink changed my life. Seriously, yum. The "frothy French martini" is one of the best drinks I've ever had. The Manhattan was great as well. The bartenders were nice, efficient, and the drinks were strong. The other customers contributed to an overall positive experience. New favorite bar!”
“First time here, and I loved it! My husband can take our leave pizza, but he said, "Now this is good! Great prices, friendly staff and delicious food! Plus the have a really nice salad bar! Will definitely be back!”
“We hosted an interactive sushi making evening at our house for 4 people and couldn't recommend the team at Sushi Sack more! They're friendly, knowledgeable, fun, and the food was delicious! We will definitely be doing this again for special occasions, and will make it a point to dine in at Sushi Shack and/or Lost Shack whenever possible.”
“Amazing food, if you are in this area you should definitely go. I would recommend the beer battered fries. only problem i could think of is that there are almost always waits but they are short and worth it. 10/10”
“My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to get the opportunity to have our baby shower over this last weekend at Loose Screw Beer Co., and it was absolutely nothing short of amazing. The staff, owner, and bartender was so so helpful with the planning and on set up the day of. They accommodated anything we needed and were prompt with communicating with us. Although I wasn't drinking, everyone that did drink raved about the beer and the selection, especially the hazy IPA! The baby shower turned out exactly how I had dreamed of, and better! The atmosphere (combined with the fact we were blessed with good weather) was amazing. It is perfect for events, or just to come have a drink on their awesome patio. I cannot thank Loose Screw enough for making the celebration of our baby boy to come one to remember. <3”
“I have finally found real pizza in the valley; 6 years and I just discovered you? Now please open a store closer to eagle/garden city/State st., just a excited suggestion!!! The best since coming from Vegas; hands down ✌️”
“This is the best frozen yogurt!My favorite is white chocolate mousse. I highly recommend it!The service is great and I love all the windows that keep it bright even in the winter. It's our absolute top choice. We don't live in Meridian but we drive for TCBY.”
“This really itched the spot for hot chicken. If you think one heat level may be too hot for you, it's better to err on the side of caution. It's spicy, but delicious!”
“Left another restaurant for not getting service…. Ending up coming here even though it looked super busy….gave it a shot. Kristen P came to our rescue with a smile on her face and heard our frustrations from our previous stop before GD. She got us drinks right away and assured us that we’d be fed too. She wasn’t wrong. Happy birthday lady!! Thanks for the great service!”
“I was impressed by the amount of options and the cinnamon roll I had was good. The people were also really nice, and the place was neat and nicely decorated. But there was no indoor seating. There was space for at least three 2-person tables, but it was just empty floor space. They had tables outside, but it was below freezing and they were covered in snow. I asked where we could eat while seated, and they suggested The Village's concierge. There were just two seats that weren't right next to the ginormous bathrooms. (We were a group of three, so we just ended up standing.) The deep-dish plastic packaging made it difficult to cut with the plastic fork and knife, which interestingly came with salt and pepper. Also, there was no option for a printed receipt. Just text or email. ...Once they have indoor seating and serve the cinnamon rolls on ceramic dishes with metal utensils, I will be glad to upgrade my review to five stars. ...Thanks for the delicious rolls!”
“Decided to give Metzli a try for dinner. I ordered the Metzli burrito with chicken, my wife ordered the nachos.Everything was delicious! One of the better Mexican meals I’ve had in the treasure valley. Especially enjoyed their salsa bar!It is a small space, but was not busy on a Monday. Staff was very friendly. Definitely will be back.”

“Love the staff and how quickly they serve me. Super friendly and always have great recommendations on drinks if you’re feeling indecisive or want to try something new.”
“All the workers are extremely nice and helpful. They recommended me a blended chai tea with pumpkin flavoring and picture perfect (caramel and chocolate drizzle around the inside of the cup) with whip. It's amazing. The stickers are even better.”

“Coby was a great server. Food was pretty decent, was weird that we didn't get our little candle lit for under the pizza, so it did cool off super quick, but it was good regardless. Will definetly come back here to try one of thier specialty pizzas.”
“My husband and I ate here for dinner for the first time. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was great.The food was decent. Not a lot of flavor and actually quite heavy. Drinks were great though.”
“I've never had a bad experience here. The drinks are amazing, service is great. The food is always, always incredible. Highly recommend the salmon for dinner and the fish tacos for lunch. The jambalaya is just divine. You should probably get reservations as it's a smaller place. Also, the Sidecar two doors down is their bar, and it's worth going there for a nightcap. I assure you, it's a trip worth your time.”
“I have eaten a lot of clams in the Boise area and these rank well up to some of the best. Fresh, cooked perfectly and just deliciousParking: It was easy for us...just drove in, even though it was busy all around us. Must have been waiting for us...lol”
“This is a great place to eat. They have great drinks that are unique and fun. The food is delicious and they have many different options. The service is always great, fast and polite. The black bean dip is a must have!”
“My husband and I were very happy with our visit to Big Juds. The food is surprisingly fresh! No frozen beef patties from here, it is the real deal! We were happy with the service and the time it took to get our food. For our main meal I ordered a single cheeseburger, my husband ordered a bbq bacon burger, and we shared a large tot. The large tot was so large we could not even finish it. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the cookies and cream milkshake we ordered. It was more of a chocolate chip milkshake, so I wasn't a huge fan. Overall, we were very impressed and will definitely be back.”

“This place is a must try. The food is phenomenal and has such aromatic flavors. If you are a first timer for Indian food try Chicken Makahni (Butter Chicken) with garlic Naan. You can't go wrong. Servers are super friendly and food comes fast. Great place! Ask for Rohit, he is one of the friendly staff to serve you.”
“The meat doesn't seem quite as tasty as some of the other loc's along the coast, here in ID - but, still the great value proposition we've all come to expect from I&O.We're glad have them.. though my family and I hope they improve on the meat.”
“After having a disappointing meal at Kona, we came to Bodovino to get some more food. I love this place - our daughter was able to play in the playground as we sat outside and drank a beer. Also, with Christmas around the corner, we were able to see some epic wipeouts on the ice skating rink.While Bodovino is known for wine, I'm not a wine drinker. I had a local double IPA and my wife had the mulled wine drink - both were awesome.The food menu was great. My daughter loved her butter noodles and the pasta we split was good as well. The service was also great.We will be back for sure!”
“Yooooooo. This place is not playing around. First of all, it’s just a cool setting in general. Everyone was really kind and the food!!!! THE FOOD. I had the brisket elote burger and the husband had the smokehouse Benedict. As we were leaving he said, “We’re coming back here… a lot.” He’s right!”
“DELICIOUS CRISPY CHICKEN!! Generous portions with great sauce options & endless pickles ? + Sage was so nice & helpful!
